'CTRL+P' instead of F8 for showing prefs

I love the new hotkeys but F8 for preferences windows is a little verbose and not that user freindly. Most people would assume the prefs window to be on the order of CTRL+P (for prefernces) or CTRL+O (for options) So I think a better UI would be with CTRL+P to invoke preferences.

I hate to sound like the person who bitches all the time but its just a freindly suggestion. Besides F8 messes with Konfabulator's default functionality of invoking the Konspose' display, thats if uTorrent is in focus.

Keep up the great work guys.

Horrible idea, I will certainly grant you Ctrl+P is one of the "standards" and common hotkeys for Preferences, along with Ctrl+O, but ya know what? I liked having to press ONE key a lot better than pressing two. :)

I can be VERY, EXTREMELY, STUBBORNLY, HORRIBLY, lazy sometimes, but this is just a matter of preference..I can't press Ctrl+P with my left hand very easily, so now I have to remove my hand from my mouse to open the Preferences. Yes I could click "Options->Preferences" but so could you. :P

In my eyes....

Ctrl+O = Open

Ctrl+P = Print

I haven't seen any consistent "Preferences" or "Options" key combination. In Adobe applications, it's Ctrl+K (I think). In Opera, it's Ctrl+F12 (though you can change it). (I)Explorer doesn't even have a keyboard shortcut for these things.
